How long will color photographic prints last?
A. Each type of print has its own characteristics. Longevity is one of the reasons we have selected Fuji Crystal Archive type RC paper for our photographic prints made on the LightJet. According to accelerated light stability testing conducted at Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc., Fuji Crystal Archive photographic prints should last about 60 to 70 years before noticeable fading begins to occur. For further reference, see “How Long Will They Last? An Overview of the Light Fading Stability of Inkjet Prints and Traditional Color Photographs” by Henry Wilhelm, February 2002.
